Description Christopher Yeleighton 2012-01-28 21:39:01 UTC
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

help2man requires the command to produce help text given an option (default --help, but any option will do); kshell4 is incompatible with this convention.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. { man kshell4; }
  2. { kshell4 --help; }

Actual Results:  
  1. Documentation not found.
  2. KInit could not launch '--help'.

Expected Results:  
  2. 
kshell4 --- KDE command launcher
Usage: kshell4 $command [$arguments ...]
Tells the KDE subsystem to launch the given command.

Workaround: { kshell4; }, incompatible with help2man
